Question for you all.... can asacol cause hair growth in weird spots? I noticed this morning that I had alittle bit of dark hair on both sides of my neck which I've never had before....

No....that would usually be hormonal or inherited. Unless you've waxed that area lately, smoke or are taking meds that can darken the hair such as high blood pressure meds or supplements such as copper.
I take it you're female?

Have you been on prednisone (or another corticosteroid) as it can definitely cause hair growth in weird places.

Yes I'm female. Just weird because I've never had it before... I hadn't been good about taking my asacol for alittle bit until just recently which is why I thought maybe that was why. I figured that it would only be cause by steroids which I haven't been on.

Could be lighting or the fact that as you're maturing, so is your melanin in the hair.
Are you on the pill?

What do you mean by lighting? And no the only thing I take is the asacol

You mentioned darker hair...certain light and angle can make fine hair appear lighter or darker.

yes, i've also heard that lightning can do weird things to hair -

Thanks.. definetly don't think it's the lighting though. Just mentioned it was darker because I was trying to say how it's almost like the darker hair on the legs but on the front of the neck. I appreciate the replies though I guess it's just something I have to deal with lol

So do you have any other areas such as on your face or arms?

Any problems with periods?

No only there. Well my periods have been about 10 days late for almost a year now.... before that they were like 3 days late every time. I did have one month where I didn't have one at all a few months ago.

Since you're having some issues with periods...i stress you having your ovaries checked and hormones related with periods. Sometimes one symptom that's out of the ordinary can be connected to others. You just connected something ...worth persuing.

Keep track that hair growth and colour.

I know your right 😩 I've thought about it and hearing someone else say it confirms it...I've been putting off because I'm worried something will come of it like when I was diagnosed with UC...but I just need to go and get it over with. Thanks
